Install binutils-multiarch, and depend on that (might have to create
symlinks in /usr/sparc-linux/bin).

Using dpkg-cross, you should be able to convert current packages to a

Sparc boot floppies can be created with the intelsilo package. Basically
you just need an ext2 formatted floppy, and use intelsilo to make it
